Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9929569A1] The invention concerns a vertical take-off and landing, aerodynamically self-sustained horizontal flight hybrid aircraft (1; 11) comprising a propulsion system providing at least a fixed blade propellor/rotor (2; 12) on the front part of the aircraft, connected to the main engine(s) of the aircraft, and at least one auxiliary engine (3; 13), placed in the rear part of the aircraft, said auxiliary engine being progressively tiltable and swingable between two limit positions, respectively a vertical and a horizontal position, the piloting cabin (4; 14) and the passenger area (5; 15) being realised as swingable modules, in such a way to continuously maintain the horizontal position of the pavement and of the ceiling parallel with respect to the ground during each flying phase, i.e. during the take-off, the transition phase and the horizontal flight, and vice versa, said aircraft taking-off with a vertical attitude (front portion upward) and progressively changing the attitude by the help of the rear auxiliary tiltable engines, reaching a completely horizontal attitude, and vice versa, and coming back in the vertical attitude during the landing.
